Fastnacht in the election campaign which political carnival topics an expert expects






The election campaign is just right for the carnival clubs at this year’s Fastnacht, says expert Willner. On some topics, the laughter gets you in your throat.

According to the Badisch-Palatinate Carnival Associations, the AfD and Donald Trump are grateful topics for handmade speeches and motif cars this year. “The right pressure is drifting around the company, which also includes the carnival,” said press officer Jochen Willner of the German Press Agency. “It can be expected that the carnivalists address their displeasure and focus on the AfD.”

The take office of US President Donald Trump would also be the focus. “This includes Trump’s demand for more expenses for defense in connection with the situation of the Bundeswehr.” The US President will probably be the “key figure” among the politicians taken on the grain, said Willner. “However, Olaf Scholz, Friedrich Merz, Christian Lindner and Robert Habeck will also be an issue.”

On the other hand, Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin is less to be expected. “This is about conflicts and wars and ultimately about human life.”

Current election campaign ideal for topics

Basically, the ongoing election campaign for handmade speeches and lyrics is a good thing. “You don’t have to search, but a good field is prepared to an artist or active person to exploit the matter as much as possible,” said Willner. “So it is thematically relief instead of difficulties.”

As far as the current mood is concerned, as after the pandemic, the action around the globe will move people to celebrate, emphasized Willner. “The carnival, the carnival and the carnival want and should also contribute to this. It is about the short -term forgetting of everyday worries and about spending a few fun hours with his loved ones or friends. That is why customs for society is so extremely important.”

The Association of Badisch-Palatinate Carnival Associations in Speyer on the border with Baden-Württemberg has around 85,000 members. It is considered the second largest state association of carnival clubs in the Association of German Carnival.
